Need Gum Gone? Chewing gum removal can be a very sticky business, whether it is on your concrete, parking lot or the side of a building, gum eventually transforms into a dark smudge on your concrete. But before that point, visitors and clients walking into a store or office will step on it and track it in all over your carpets, rugs and entryway mats. Then it’s embedded deep into the carpet and into the porous surface of concrete or asphalt, just waiting for someone to step in it again, to carry it somewhere else in your building.

We are proud to provide gum removal as one of our commercial pressure washing services in Hollywood FL. Find more information about our process below:

METHODS FOR REMOVING GUM FROM CONCRETE

The best methods of removing gum from concrete depends on how long the gum has been there and the level of penetration into the concrete surface. If the chewing gum was left recently and it has not penetrated the surface, we might be able to get it off by covering it with ice until it freezes, then scraping the gum off with a metal putty knife.

The ice forces the gum to freeze into a more forgiving substance compared to a warm and stringy glob. Once that happens, we slide a putty knife or scraper directly under the gum. Next we move the scraper slowly beneath the gum and the whole piece should peel right off of the concrete.

The above method is only possible with brand new gum.

When we remove gum that has turned black, or is already smashed down into the concrete surface, we use a hot water power washer with the heat dialed up to 200 Degrees in order to melt the chewing gum. For this type of gum removal service, we don’t use high pressure because that will sometimes harm the surface of the concrete!

Our pressure washers never uses more pressure than needed to safely clean concrete surfaces. These types of surfaces can be destroyed much easier than people think, especially if they’re only 1-2 years old. Concrete can require up to 100 years to cure completely. That is why we always use hot water and the least amount of pressure possible for our chewing gum removal professional.
